Bharadwaj reveals BJP stopped Chhath Puja on Yamuna banks during AAP term

AAP Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj tore apart every lie spoken by BJP Delhi President Virendra Sachdeva, exposing with evidence how it was the BJP itself that systematically stopped Chhath Puja on the Yamuna banks for three consecutive years when AAP was in power, even as it now pretends to champion the festival ahead of the Bihar elections.

Saurabh Bharadwaj revealed that after the COVID-19 pandemic, then Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had sought permission in 2022 for Chhath Puja on the Yamuna banks, but the Lieutenant Governor (LG)- controlled Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), acting under the BJP's directions, denied it.

The same ban was extended in 2023 and 2024, effectively blocking the Purvanchal community's right to celebrate. Now, with the BJP in power in Delhi and Bihar polls approaching, the LG has conveniently lifted restrictions -- exposing the party's political hypocrisy and zero concern for Purvanchali sentiments.
